FINAL WEEKS TO VISIT MONTREAL CANADIENS HALL OF FAME The Montreal Canadiens organization announced today that as part of the extensive renovations planned to enhance the fan experience at the Bell Centre in 2015-16 and beyond, the Montreal Canadiens Hall of Fame will cease operations on August 30, 2015. As a means to offer a final opportunity for all fans to experience the Hall and its exhibits and features in their entirety, admission to the venue will be free for the entire month of August. "In the coming months, as the real estate development projects around the Bell Centre move forward, we will be in a position to proceed with a number of new initiatives, including the redeployment of Centennial Plaza," said Kevin Gilmore, the team's Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer. "This beautiful new site will serve as a permanent gathering place for years to come that celebrates the history of our team, from its greatest legends to its unforgettable conquests and unparalleled legacy. The Hall of Fame will close in order to offer new amenities to fans and clients during games, though we will be redistributing certain of its displays and assets throughout the building so that they can continue to be enjoyed. For those who have never visited the Hall, we invite them through the end of the month to experience it at no cost." Fans who have loaned materials to the Hall for display purposes will be contacted in the coming weeks in regard to next steps involving their return. Bell Centre guided tours will continue to be offered independently upon the Hall's closure, with new enhancements and additions to be announced later in the fall. The Montreal Canadiens Hall of Fame is located at the lower level of the Bell Centre, situated at 1909 Avenue des Canadiens-de-Montréal. The venue opened to the public in January 2010 on the heels of the club's Centennial anniversary, and has welcomed over 200,000 visitors since its inception.

No longer available and not reopening. I did take the Bell Center tour which was $24CAD and though expensive, was worth it IMHO:
We got to see a fifteen minute movie on the team's history and then entered the Centre Bell's lower level while the...More

How could one come to Montreal and not go the the Bell Centre?! Recommend this as well as the official tour. You may get to go to the Team locker room! See the 24 Stanley Cup replicas. And be sure and pay whatever to go...More

Until it recently closed, the Montreal Canadiens Hall of Fame was an amazing place for all those with a passion of Les Canadiens and Hockey. We took the tour and went to the locker room, very exclusive access. We are sorry to see it go.

It's kinda small if you compare to the actual Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, but since it's about only one team, it's totally reasonable. We had a great time discovering Habs history and facts we didn't know before, and it's great for kids too...More

Even if you're not a Habs fan, this is definitely worth a stop. They have lots of unique memorabilia from over 100 years of Canadians history. There is also an exhibit which includes articles from some of the Canadians' rivals (a seat from Olympia stadium,...More

With the Montreal Canadiens having such a rich history, one would think (and expect) an experience that would be overwhelming and mind-numbing. Unfortunately, this is more like throwing a bone to passionate fans, resulting in a very average experience at best. The museum in its...More

Montreal's towering skyline is concentrated in theDowntown area, its nexus of commerce andcommercialism. A suffusion of luxury hotels, flagshipstores, high-end restaurants, and corporateheadquarters characterize the neighborhood, which bynightfall transforms from a business district into ayouth-culture hotspot, with hip bars, clubs, andrestaurants heavily peopled by students and young

professionals. The once-seat of millionaire's 'GoldenSquare Mile', an incongruity of stately mansions anddapper brownstones sit between glass skyscrapers,creating a visually lush urban landscape. Beneath thesidewalks lay the Underground City, the world'slargest below-ground mall, a labyrinth of over 1,500shops and eateries that echo the profusion of cafes,gallerias, cinemas, and fashion outlets above. Fromthe scholarly array at McGill University to thecarousing crowds of Rue Crescent, visit Downtown toshop by day for what you'll wear there by night.
